I won an auction for Japanese version of Kirby Air Ride. Now I will be able to see if the Japanese and North American versions of the game will connect to one another over the LAN. I am assuming they will since I have tunneled Mario Kart against a PAL user across the atlantic (dear god that ran slow).

If it works, this will be cool since at the moment I only have 1 copy of the US version. So now I will have 2 copies of the game (even though from different regions) and can setup a proper LAN session for Kirby.
